"The Fountain" Audio Commentary Online

For the few of you that have seen Darren Aronofsky's "The Fountain" and liked it, there is some good news. Aronofsky has recorded an audio commentary for the movie and has posted it on his site. Last year he tried to get it on to the DVD, but Warner Bros. chose not to include it.

"As many of you can tell, it is light on extras as compared to my previous DVD releases," explained Aronofsky. "Everything at the studio was a struggle. For instance, they didn't want to do a commentary track cause they felt it wouldn't help sales. I didn't have it in me to fight anymore. Whatever."

Either way, it now available on his own personal site and you can download it in MP3 format. This is where it gets tricky. If you would like to hear the commentary while watching the DVD, you have to sync the two together.

For the people that have been hoping to get a special edition version that includes this commentary, don't hold your breath. Here is a quote from Aronofsky from last year. "I do hope to do a big special edition at some point, but for that to happen the DVD is gonna have to sell." In other words, there is no special edition coming.
